There are various policies for the English Department and El Cajon Valley High School.



PLC Forms

Quarterly, we need to complete the following forms to follow up on the progress of our team SMART Goals. Part of the reason for the form completion is to keep our Goals in mind, and to help us focus on the goals that we have set. Please complete the forms and save the file with the name of the team and the quarter for which the form is completed, for example "09-10_SMART_Goal_Progress_11th_team_Q2". After the form is completed, please email it to the department chair.



We also have the form for Goal Setting, and the 10 Critical Questions form to complete. The Goal Setting form and the Critical Questions form should be completed in the beginning of the year. Once the forms are complete, please save teh file with the name of the team and the school year (or quarter if necessary) in the file name, for example "09-10_Critical_Questions_9th_team". Once the forms are complete, please email them to the department chair.



Requesting Professional Development or Curriculum Writing time.

If you are wanting to request Professional Development or Curriculum Writing time the Team Lead (or you) needs to complete the form to request this time. Fill in the form and then go to "File" and select "Save As". Rename the file (currently named "2010-11_PD_Request Form.pdf") to "2011-12_PD_Request_[date of PD]_[team]". So, if you wanted to have a meeting on Aug. 3, 2020 for the 9th grade team, you would rename the file "2011-12_PD_Request_08-03-20_9th_team". Then email the request to me. I will then either approve it or ask you some questions to help understand the request, before sending it on to the appropriate administrator. Be sure that the paperwork is complete and approved prior to starting the PD or Curriculum Writing, if not you may not be paid for it.
